After the interview, there would only be 3 who could enter the final round, which would later       one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite       and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.
On the day of the final interview, my son and other two      arrived at the interview place on time,       the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably      . The interviewer only said to them, “All of you are very super. Please go home and wait for our      . We will tell you the       in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!” On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very      .
In nightfall that day, my son suddenly told me       on the phone, “Dad, I have been employed!” Greatly surprised, I could not wait to ask him, “What’s the whole      ?” My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually the first text sent to my son was also       of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son’s       was “Thank you” while the others said “Goodbye”.
Only then did I know that my son’s “hope”       in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not      to say “thank you” to the one who disappoints you. Saying “thank you” shows respect for others’ work and shows your grand      . Therefore, while under the same condition, you will get the upper hand in terms of       compared with others!

I’ve always had strong opinions of how love should be expressed, but others had their own ways of showing care.
What I      most about visiting my boyfriend’s parents is the loud tick of the clock in the dining room as we      ate our meal. With so little conversation I was quick to      his family as cold. When we got into the      to go home, his father suddenly appeared.      , he began to wash his son’s windscreen. I could feel he was a caring man through the glass.
I learned another lesson about love a few years later. My father often      me early in the morning. “Buy Xerox. It’s a good sharp price,” he might say when I answered the phone. No pleasant   or inquiry about my life, just financial instructions. This manner of his      me and we often quarreled. But one day, I thought about my father’s success in business and realized that his concern for my financial security lay behind his      morning calls. The next time he called and told me to buy a stock, I      him.
When my social style has conflicted with that of my friends, I’ve often felt     . For example, I always return phone calls      and regularly contact with my friends. I expect the same from them. I had one friend who rarely called, answering my messages with short e-mails. I rushed to the     : She wasn’t a good friend! My anger       as the holidays approached. But then she came to a gathering I      and handed me a beautiful dress I had fallen in love with when we did some window-shopping the previous month. I was      at her thoughtfulness, and regretful for how I’d considered her to be      . Clearly I needed to change my expectations of friends.
Far too often, I ignored their       expressions, eagerly expecting them to do things in my   . Over the years, however, I’ve learned to      other persons, love signs.

At the age of three, I wasdiscovered to be totally deaf. Having consulted many specialists, my parents made a(n)      that would forever alter my future.      sending me to a special education school for the deaf, they chose an ordinary one for me. All of my schoolmates and teachers there would have      hearing.
I experienced great      throughout my primary school because, in addition to the problems of      with the other students, I also      with most of my school work. I seemed to spend every spare moment doing homework just so I could     .
    for me, Mrs. Jordan, my 5th grade teacher, changed all of that with a simple three-word phrase.
One morning, she asked the class a question. I      her lips and immediately raised my hand. Here was an opportunity to impress the powerful teacher and even my classmates. Although a little afraid when I heard my named called, I felt unusually      because I was sure I had the right answer. I took a deep breath and      answered Mrs. Jordan's question.
Her response      all of us. Mrs. Jordan enthusiastically      her right foot on the floor and turned her right hand around in a full circle      it pointed directly at me. With shining eyes she cried, "THAT'S RIGHT, STEPHEN!"
For the first time in my young life, I was an instant star. My heart burst with     .  Smiling widely, I sat a little taller in my chair. My confidence      like never before. I decided right then and there that I would make a(n)      in this world. No matter how many      I might come across in life, I knew I could overcome them.
The very three-word phrase entirely      my young life. From that day on, my grades and speech improved greatly, my      among my classmates increased, and my viewpoint on life did a complete turnabout.

In 1982, Steven Callahan was crossing the Atlantic alone in his sailboat when it struck something and sank.He got into a life boat, but his supplies were   21 .His chances of surviving were small.  22  when three fishermen found him 76 days later, he was alive —much   23  than he was when he started, but alive.
His   24  of how he survived is fascinating.His cleverness —how he   25  to catch fish, how he evaporated(蒸发) sea water to   26  fresh water—is very interesting.
But the thing that   27  my eye was how he managed to keep himself going when all hope seemed lost, and there seemed no   28  in continuing the struggle.He was starved and 29  worn-out.Giving up would have seemed the only possible choice.
When people   30  these kinds of circumstances, they do something with their minds that gives them the courage to keep going.Many people in   31  desperate circumstances 32   in or go mad.Something the survivors do with their thoughts helps them find the courage to carry on   33  difficulties.
"I tell myself I can     34    it, “wrote Callahan in his book. -Compared to what others have been through,I'm fortunate. I tell myself these things over and over,    35 up courage...
I wrote that down after I read it. It  36   me as something important. And I've told myself the same thing when my own goals seemed    37 off or when my problems seemed too terrible. And every time I've said it, I have always come back to my   38    .
The truth is,our circumstances are only bad  39  to something better. But others have been through the much worse; that is, in comparison with what others have been through,you’re fortunate. Tell this to yourself over and over again, and it will help you   40   through the rough
situations with a little more courage.
